What are the best beaches in Miami

Framed by bays, oceans and keys, Miami beaches are the subjects of postcards. From shaded beaches adjoining parks to historic beaches signalling the southernmost point of America, Miami serves up endless beaches in all directions. If you're considering surfing Miami, bustling South Beach and Bal Harbour Beach are among the best destinations to seek out the swell. Alternatively, if soaking up the sun is more to your liking, there’s endless beaches to relish the rays and enjoy a quick dip. For the quintessential Miami beach experience, head to South Beach and revel in the exciting pace for which Miami is famed.

Miami Beach

It's a beach with it all in the heart of Miami.
